With very few exceptions, Florida is a flat state, perfect for those of us traveling on the level. Throw in a festival or four and there's even more reason to visit. Consider lower rates, cooler weather and fewer bugs and it's nigh on irresistible.
Now add food to the equation. That's what the Gulf coast - our west coast - does this season. Here are a few foodie fests to consider.
